I'm not totally averse to the eugenics idea. It would have to be done in a rather more, unh, nuanced fashion than in the past, to say the least. I'd emphasize more 'negative' eugenics-- mostly along the lines of not allowing people to have children they can't support. About the only 'positive' eugenics attibute I think might be worth pursuing would be IQ.
In any case, though, such policies should not be implemented on a top-down basis. Rather, they should be done on a bottom-up basis. Any eugenics actions should be parent-driven, parents looking out for the best interests of their offspring.
